This section describes the changes needed to the VMware View
environment before configuring and using the VMware View
connector. It is assumed that the VMware View environment is
properly configured and working before using the VMware View
connector. Refer to the
VMware
View documentation for details.

18.3.1. How to Disable Secure Tunnel Connections to View Desktops

The VMware View connector does not support tunneled connections when accessing View
desktops. The following steps describe how to disable secure tunnel connections to View
desktops through a View Connection Server.

This procedure is based on the VMware View 5.0 release.

Log in to the VMware View Administrator.

From the View Configuration menu in the
left-hand navigation pane, click Servers.

From the Servers panel, select the appropriate View
Connection Server and click Edit.

18.3.2. How to Enable Non-SSL Connections to the View Connection Server

If (Secure Sockets Layer) SSL is not required, use the following
steps to enable non-SSL connections to the View Connection
Server.

Note

This configuration is not possible in VMware View 5.1 or later, because only SSL connections
are supported.

This procedure is based on the VMware View 5.0 release.

Log in to the VMware View Administrator.

From the View Configuration menu in the
left-hand navigation pane, click Global
Settings.

Click Edit.

Deselect Require SSL for client connections and
View Administrator in the pop-up screen.

Click OK.

18.3.3. How to Enable SSL Connections to the View Connection Server

The default SSL certificate created from the VMware View Manager installation must be
imported into the Sun Ray server to enable SSL connections to desktops. The following steps
assume that you have generated and stored a new certificate on the View Connection Server.

Export the certificate from the keystore on the View
Connection Server:

Edit the kiosk script
(/etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/vdm/vdm) and
modify the line that begins with
javaKeyStorePass= to include the password
for the keystore.

Restart the Sun Ray server via the Admin GUI.

Note

The administrator may choose to import the certificate into
the default keystore of the server's Java installation instead
of following steps 3 and 4. If this is done, the kiosk script
must be modified and all references to
javaKeyStore and
javaKeyStorePass should be removed.
